The Detroit's second team will play in
birmingham tomorrow. The two teams
will re-unite in Memphis on Wednesday.
The Missouri Legislature has passed a
law prohibiting Sunday base ball games,
but President Won der Abe says that all
Sunday games scheduled for St. Louis
during the coming season will be played.
Manager Watkins stopped few hours
in Montgomery, Ala, on his way from
Savannah back to New Orleans. He told
the Montgomerians that the Southern
League cannot make money, and the Ad-
vertlser says he gave convincing reasons:
The circuit is too large the attendance
too small; the fees are too small; railroad
rates, with the interstate commerce bill
in operation, will be too high. This out
look, the Advertiser remarks, will not
worry MontgOmerans mucn, for this is
one OF the big cities that has not lately
gone off on the ball tangent, and there is
no reason why it should.
Advance copies of Spalding's Official
Base Ball Guide for 1887 have been sent
out. The guide is, as usual, well filled
with facts Of interest and value to the
profession. The records OF the various
clubs and players for each month and
season are given. The guide also gives
pictures and sketches of five of the great
batters OF the National League, Mike
Kelly, Brouthers, Arson, Conner and
O'Rourke, and gives the new rules, with
full and extensive explanations. The
guide is published especially for The
National League and is devoted more es-
pecially to that organization than to any
other,

CHARGE AGAINST THE PRISONERS.
The men who were taken to the bar
racks were charged with violating the
city ordinances by giving performance
with q brass band at Mozart Han and
violating the s0lemnity and quiet Of the
Sabbath, thereby disturbing the neigh
borhOod.
A gentleman who was at the meetin 9
volunteered to furnish bail for them, but
they declined his offer, saying that they
were willing to be locked up in the cells
for the sake of Jesus. They were taken
upstairs and offered beds in the police
mems quarters. Before retiring they
started TO hold q service of song and
prayer.
AT THE BARRACKS.
The policemen who were to go On duty
at midnight woke up and began to kick. A
complaint was made to the Assistant
Chief of Police in the Office, and he sent
word to the SalvatiOnists that they must
not sing as the men wanted to sleep.
The service was concluded with prayer.
Col. Light escaped arrest through being
downstairs when the police started up
at the hall. Had they been few minutes
sooner they would have caught him beat
ing a drum. They were advised not to
take their band out on the streets on Sun
day, and accordingly at 2 O'Clock when
they started on their march they left their
instruments behind. Two OF the female
members were in the parade and joined
in the singing. The arrest by Sergt. Lee
and Policeman Dunham was under orders
from the Chief.

IMPROVING WATERS ROAD.
The Work Being Done by the City
and County Authorities.

The Work Being Done by the City
and County Authorities.
The work of improving Waters road is
progressing quite satisfactorily. The
drain pipes have been laid to Bolton
street and the roadway to that point is
greatly improved. The excavating is
being done by detail from the convict
force and the city's hands are LAYING the
PIPES. While tuis work is being done
the open ditch on the west side of the
road might be Tlled up and the roadway
properly graded. This could be
very readily done by the
county authorities furnishing few
more convicts, which they would
probably cheerfully do if the matter was
brought TO their attention by the citv's
committee. The work already done
shows that Waters road can be made one
OF the best in the county, and as it forms
the eastern boundary OF the city ana is IN
the centre OF thriving agricultural sec
ton it should be put in good order now
while 1t can be done at a small cost,
Good roads and drainage induce people
TO settle up the vacant lands, and every
farmer contributes TO the city's as well
as to the county's prosperity.

The Hotel to be Entirely Changed
and improvements Added.

anu improvements Auucu.
Mr. B. Dub, proprietor OF the Screven
House. contemplates remodeling his hotel
and adding many conveniences and I'M
proyements, The part known as the old
building on Bull street and Congress
street lane will be torn down and rebuilt
so as to present a modern aud tasty ex-
terror.
The interior will be entirely remodeled.
Several stores will be added on the Bull
street front, but will be several feet above
the sidewalk. The space under them
will BE- fitted up as large and attractive
billiard hall. The office will rem ain in
its present location, but the ceiling will
be heightened. An attractive arcade
with an imposing staircase will replace
the present arrangement, and cosy par
Tors for gentlemen and reading rooms
viii adjoln the office.
yhe chambers IN the new part will be
arranged in suites with private bath
room connected with each suite. The
main stairs will be remOdeled and i'm
proved and the elevator will be ENLARGED,
The kitchen will be changed so as to ad-
JOIN the dining-rOom instead of being
below it.
1t Is Mr.. Dub's intention to make the
Screven House as comfortable ard at
tractive as any hotel in the state, and no
expense Will be spared in the effort. The
plans are now being drawn by the archi-
tects, Fay d. Eichberg, and work will be
begun as soon as practicable,

THE ARTEsIAN WE'LL S.
The Water Works System to be
Completed by May 1.

y
Completed by May 1.
There are now five artesiau wells
giving a good flow of water, and two more
are about to be sunk. 1t is expected that
u sufficient supply OF water will be OBJ
tanned and the necessary connection
made to supply the entire city with arte-
sian water by May l, Establishments
which use steam engines are not anxious
to have aItesian water, as it is claimed
that the minerals in it injure the boilers
and stop up the pipes. The Sayan-
nah river water is noted Tor It's
adaptability for steam use, as it
does not injure the boilers. Establish
ments within pumping distance are talk
ing about getting their supply OF water
from the river. 1t would not be bad
plan, If practicable, for some arrange
ment to be made by which artesian water
will be pumped into the mains on certain
days OF the week and river water on the
other days. This can easily be done. as
far as the mechanical part is concerned,
as all that is necessary is to open one
valve at the water works and close an
other.
